Tangotango

I would like to nominate Tangotango to become an administrator to stop vandalism more efficiently than he can now. He has already fought a lot of vandals. His first edit was on 2006/07/09 09:56:37. Now he has 831 Edits.(ארגה · ‽ · Manecke 18:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I have mainly been involved in cleaning up, categorizing, and expanding our core articles. I have also been an avid vandal fighter, and it is for this purpose that I would like to become an administrator. As it is not always possible to find a sysop or steward at present, I feel that having the tools at my disposal would let me do a quicker and more thorough job of cleaning up the vandalism that accumulates here.

I would also like to use my experience as an m:OTRS volunteer to help clean up our copyright situation. Also, as I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia, I believe that I will able to import what is good about that wiki, and leave out what isn't. (That having been said, I realize that the two projects have different goals in mind.) Thank you, Tangotango (talk) 18:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Anyone who stops vandalism is always needed! Geeksluvpi 00:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a voting sock puppet. Nominator is also been blocked, I really hope Tango has not solicited outside help here. -- Netoholic @ 03:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure you I know nothing about this user. (I just woke up, in fact.) I don't know how I can effectively prove my innocence, but please feel free to do a Checkuser, etc. if you are so inclined. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 06:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jumping in here to help but actually, how to you know if User:Tangotango is a sock puppet for User:Tango? cuz simply because of related usernames dosne't always mean sock puppets. Sock puppets can have very distant different usernames far from the orginial user and username. --§ Alastor Moody _{(T + C)} 00:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked Geeksluvpi. Can't see any evidence of being a sockpuppet, awaiting Netoholic's response before unblocking nominator. Archer7 - talk 15:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Excellent vandal fighter. PullToOpen ^Talk/_Contribs 17:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I've often seen him on IRC asking for help with SEWiki from stewards, and I can see his dedication to the project. --Srikeit 18:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. And I don't think it is his sock...-- Tdxi an g @ 03:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support. Very civil user; has done a lot of work on fighting against vandalism.--TBCΦtalk? 15:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I've had nothing but good experiences with this user, as an editor, as a fellow sysop at enwiki, and as a vandal patroller. He runs the IRC bots which help patrol for vandalism, and is obviously dedicated to simplewiki. Most important, for me: I trust him. Luna Santin 07:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Luna-San. His enwiki experience will be a bonus. Chacor 11:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. One of the few active users around. He has a good background as well. zephyr2k 19:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned that so many voters here are also part of Wikipedia:Esperanza and have only been on this wiki for a very short time, much like Tangotango himself. I really want to hear from other active admins before putting this promotion through. -- Netoholic @ 18:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As it says above, Anyone who has been adding to this website for a while is allowed to be an administrator. Jimbo Wales, the founder of the Wikimedia Foundation, said "this should be no big deal". So, what is the big deal? For my part, I am convinced that Tangotango has the qualifications, and am confident that we can handle giving him the sysop rights. Therefore, I am pleased to offer my support for this nomination. Blockinblox 01:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Netoholic, I understand your concern about community-based support. However, I look at the qualifications of a user before voting. :)-- Tdxi an g @ 03:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
